Here's hoping that this disaster hasn't killed off the Galaxy Note phone. I'm on my third one now and was really looking forward to getting the Note 7 this autumn when my current contract expires. I'll probably just switch to a pay as you go contract and hang on to my Note 4 phone for the time being.

It doesn't matter as there's dozens non-partisan sites that will fact check. All anyone needs is 2 sites to cross-check for accuracy.

Unlike politician sites, their existence depends on ACCURATE cross-checking. If such a site is not accurate, they're pruned organically.

In which we overanalyze every frame of the new trailer.
Rogue One already has a teaser and a regular trailer, but the latest (and apparently final) trailer contains a lot of additional new footage. Which is to say it’s stuffed with more clues and hints...

And if it doesn’t get smarter soon, what does it mean for Apple?
Why does Siri seem so dumb? Why are its talents so limited? Why does it stumble so often? When was the last time Siri delighted you with a satisfying and surprising answer or action?

And amusingly they say it loses out to Alexa... And Alexa is pretty dumb, it can't even retain context.

Try "Who's the lead character in Breaking Bad?"
Follow it with "What hat does he wear?"

Now that's natural human conversation.

Something which Google does beautifully.
