Cortana and on Android

Microsoft's Cortana virtual assistant is getting a facelift on iOS and Android aimed at making it more useful for users, and also bringing a bit of brightness to what's currently a rather dour interface.
The app's biggest change is the launch of a button that lets users quickly choose between a suite of common actions, like viewing their calendar at a glance, checking reminders, or getting a weather forecast. The app itself looks friendlier, with a purple gradient background replacing a stark black, white, and blue color scheme.

On top of that, Microsoft also announced on Thursday that the iOS and Android versions of Cortana are coming to the U.K., so that Brits will be able to use the virtual assistant. Microsoft has been slow to expand Cortana's geographic reach until the assistant has been set up to work with local social norms and other expectations.
The Cortana app is a key part of Microsoft's strategy with its virtual assistant. Windows smartphones are an extreme minority compared to the iOS- and Android-powered devices that overwhelmingly dominate the market. If Microsoft wants its virtual assistant to be ubiquitous, it's important to invest in a mobile app that works on other platforms.

Virtual reality for all .

Virtual reality is a new technology that reflects that can make application in many industries. New company grow every day, while the science of virtual reality, embodied in three-dimensional technology, continue to improve and develop. For consumers, it may sometimes be costly to have the device to view a photo or video so three-dimensional, but a company in the region of Silicon Valley-t, the leader is trying to make virtual reality usable by All:
Utomo Yosen no ordinary job. He spends most of the time seeing through the lens smaller and hopes that the work you do will be rewarded one day.

" It's in my blood to take risk on myself." - He says.

Utomo is originally from Indonesia. He is one of the founders of the company Fulldive. This company has several offices in Silicon Valley and in Russia. It has created a new application, to be used by anyone who has smartphone, creating the possibility of Use of Technology three-dimensional.

An app for mental health .

All we could use at least a small rule in life. Therapy, training, meditation, self-help books. But they are expensive and often and stigma.
Mindsail company wants to remove these barriers. It has published an iOS app, to help approaches and knowledge of various experts in the field of mental health. "You're not injured, you are weak, but you people," says CNN co-founder and administrator MindSail, Lauren Wallack.

Application users can choose one of nine health issues, from problems in a relationship, career and addictions. Introduce Mindsail experts on these issues with a video and audio programs.

Microsoft's vision for LinkedIn .

Now that Microsoft’s massive $26.2 billion acquisition of LinkedIn has officially closed, it’s time for the next step: figuring out how its massive store of business information can best be used by Microsoft and its customers. Building upon the company’s integration plan outlined earlier this year, Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella laid out a set of plans for short-term integration with LinkedIn (in a blog post on LinkedIn, natch), with advantages for both consumers and business customers.

Perhaps the most interesting will be closer ties between resume functions in Word and in LinkedIn, so that users drafting resumes in Word will be able to update their LinkedIn profiles automatically. Nadella suggests that LinkedIn updates will propagate through Windows 10’s Action Center, and that your LinkedIn identity will be used in Outlook and in Office.

Google as a model for recording memories in the brain!

How born a memory?

 Explains to us the US internet giant Google. In fact doing Google searches not only serves to network, but also is good for human brain.
Some British researchers from the University of Leicester and the University of California, used search engines on a neural model for discovering how memories arise. This study was published in the scientific journal "Nature Communications".

Combinations of concepts are a key mechanism in human memory because it helps us to recall the distant moments in time. For example, when we recall personal experiences, or when leaving a meeting with someone in a particular place, create combinations between several concepts.
Starting from this principle, researchers have used the operation of Internet search engines, like Google and Bing, in a neural model to determine the level of combinations between the concepts and how these combinations are codified in human memory.
Using this techniquen we understand how neurons present in memory reach the concentrate less concepts , most important, but closely related to each other.
