The rise of intelligent mobile services (not apps!)

A new generation of smart mobile services. We don't need to wait until Google goggles builds the next generation of services for consumers to change the world. Today there are many enabling features for these services in our smartphones.

What I mean by a service in relation to an application?

Well, most developers have their mobile app user experiences much look like a desktop application on a phone built the jammed. I open the app when you need something. Control open Outlook email on my desktop (I'm on Gmail, but work with me here), and opened my Yelp app on my iPhone when I need a restaurant recommendation. Same, same.

I'm in it or it is disabled. Mobile applications running in the background (for example, e-Mail) not adding any currently my experiences and interactions. This will go on for many applications, but it is a new generation of services (vs. apps), which is running in the background, stay with me and my daily flow, productivity and experience add an integer value.

What I mean with "smart"?

"Smart" means a user understands and realizes their physical and mental condition.

User Info for background intelligent service forecasts accurate real-time user intends to develop and offer tips, results and different interfaces/user interactions based on their forecast of the State.

Example: intelligent predictive search Google Mobile: with the addition of location data Google can better Predictions of search queries and search results-improving the user experience.

Very few applications do today any processing, to discover the context and the user's status. You can use passive position data, where am I, who am I to make assumptions about the user (e.g. the Saar is now at home, or Saar drives) web services and information, etc. and interact with me differently depending on the State.

A change of user interaction

Current mobile applications using the notification and SMS me bring in their applications. But only a few have "intelligent Notifications", using my current context. This new generation services to interrupt me only if they have something valuable to add depends on context. And it will be a much better job building various user interfaces, based on my State do.

I think what these new intelligent services will look like, here are some of the features that I've been on noodling have:

Most disturbing change our physical interactions and our online experience.

Elaborate services predict things in the background, our State with a high degree of accuracy.

Many mostly will interact with the user through interruptions-and will be interrupted only if they have something of value (for example, uber: the car is now arrived.) She feels no ' serious ' and bombard us with information overload-they acquire the right to interrupt with value.

The user interface seems to hit things very different from existing Web interface for some of these applications-as you and not having to stop for a long time, but if they do, they will be very helpful. For example, you say "ok" to the UI: "close the application, not everything that we have now for you".

Associated with understanding simple heuristics for certain services and great for others to follow. For example, there is only you know many home automation applications that I have in my house, music, to automate thermostats, etc ... But more sophisticated data analysis and processing to more complex interactions/recommendations/transactions (payments square ALA) are required.

If I lose a couple of you on this post right now, sorry. A different way and asks the question: Why can't I get the following services today?

If I put in ice cream diet up (and you have a high degree of certainty, that this is actually what I do), why can't ping me and encouraged to walk out and go on the road to frozen yogurt?

Music and domotics-because Sonos automatically does not turn how to pull in my driveway within a reasonable timeframe?

Driving experience-because you can not a notification app on my calendar I SF in Palo Alto and preceding time for myself, that is jammed 101? Why do I have to check again? Proak mark possible faults and problems

Let the computer system error

Many users of Windows XP, if the operating system crashes or some inexplicable errors occur, they are usually in the sense of improving the system, or reinstall the operating system. However, these methods have gaps. The original settings once again installed and you are installing the system software system to be very annoying. In fact correcting system problems, certain technology. Windows XP repair function is very powerful, to improve and update the file system errors. In addition the first system and programs do not change. We use the system not start starting.

 

When Windows does not boot in Safe Mode or other startup options, you can try the following two methods.
A.  Use “Last Known Good Configuration”
In the start menu of Windows XP, you can select “Last Known Good Configuration” to restore the registry.
1)      When restarting the computer, press “F8” until the Windows Advanced Boot Options Menu appears.
2)      Select “Last Known Good Configuration”, and press “Enter”
When the computer starts in “Last Known Good Configuration”, Windows only restores the registry “HKLMSystemCurrentControlSet”. Any changes made to other registries will remain and will not be restored.
B. Use Recovery Console
When the computer cannot start, you can also run the Recovery Console from Windows XP installation CD to repair the error.
1)      Insert the installation CD and restart the computer from CD-ROM.
2)      Press “R” to select the repair option.
3)      When the prompt appears, input the local Administrator account and password. In most cases, you need the inbuilt account and password to use Recovery Console. The account and password is blank by default.
4)      In the system prompt, input “Fixboot” command and press “Enter”. Then the system will write in system partition a new partition boot sector, thus to repair the system error.
5)      Input “Exit” command and press “Enter” to exit the Recovery Console. Restart the computer.

Astronauts take millionth photo of the space station

If the astronauts in space, type increase, spend much of their free time with the benefit of hindsight on Earth. It is the most colorful and the most beautiful thing in sight.

Now he has written astronaut Don Pettit, the millionth photo of the international space station recorded is because its first elements were launched in 1998 in life. Pettit is one of the six members of crew currently on the station (there are two Americans, three Russians and a Dutch astronaut), and they are not sure who is the image.

"Photo station 1 millionth." Part of the time series should be extinguished. Not sure, which she, Dan Burbank or me. "Forget us http://pic.twitter.com/MjnkRm2S", eat Pettit said on his Twitter. (How images, follow NASA computer since the beginning of the station, that is why they know that this image no. 1 000 000 has catalogued the.)

The image - downwards, as for many others - shows two ships of the Russia offer also in the foreground and the Earth. The strange Green is close to the Poles during the night, the Aurora, Northern or southern lights.

The shot is part of a period of time, taken by a camera in a window of the station and the links there is a beautiful film accelerated showing station courses NASA Earth 240 miles above him at a speed of approximately 17,300 mph to take. Here's a recent example:

Pettit, is in his second round as astronauts to the space station (flew on a shuttle and space mission), has since December been surrounded and should home in May. He has kept a blog entitled "Letters on Earth."

"In my view orbital, I sit still and Earth moves," he wrote in a post. "I sit on the greater than rotation all the balls under my feet and see the speed of the world of the".
