Google has Google Now and Apple has Siri. Windows Phones on the other hand is lacking any assistance of any kind for its users. That was the case until now; or rather will be the case. The next version of Windows Phone will be more than an evolution. It will be a revolution of Microsoft’s mobile operating.
One of the most important parts of this upgrade will be Cortana. Cortana will be Windows Phone voice-controlled digital assistant. However unlike Siri, Cortana will have privacy settings that will put users in complete control of what data is shared with Microsoft. Those wanting to get their hands on Cortana will have to wait until the Microsoft’s Developer Conference.
One wonders why Microsoft has not incorporated Cortana into Xbox One. Think about it for a minute. Xbox One already needs an always on internet connection. Xbox One already has a always present voice activated and responsive Kinect. Why not combine it with an AI that offers feedback? Are you listening Microsoft?

The streaming music market was already a very competitive before Beats jumped in and made waves. Samsung who is never one to be left out the next big thing, wants to play too. So, Samsung has officially entered the music streaming market with a brand new Android only app. The app which you can download now on Google Play is called Milk Music. What will Samsung do to set this streaming music service apart? I’m glad you asked; Milk is completely ad-free without any subscription fee at all. However, hold on before you hit download. Milk Music is a radio service will be exclusive to Galaxy devices.
Just like with all the other music services, you can create your own station based on a artist, genre or song. Milk’s home screen looks very similar to a current jailbreak for the iPhone called Spin Turns. The dial lists nine genres to pick from. After that you can fine-tune your station to include new music, popular music or anything you have favorited. You can even personalize the dial to include only the genres you like. This will save you time searching for songs to discover. that you plan on listening to. Like Beats Samsung Milk has a “Spotlight” section that is curated by “music tastemakers and influencers.” Milk Music is now available on Google Play. Remember, you need a Samsung device for it to work. The full press release is below. The jailbreak app called Spin Turns is pictured below that.
Spin Turns available on Cydia

Are you ready for The Last of Us Movie?
5 days ago
Sony’s The Last of Us is one of the main reasons that I am still in love with the PlayStation 3. A few people argue that the game is a ripoff of The Walking Dead game. The game is being turned into a movie with help from none other than the game’s creators.
NAUGHTY DOG CO-PRESIDENT Said:
“Since our game released last June, we’ve talked with many companies about making a film, but we couldn’t have found better partners who share our creative vision and high standards.”
Screen Gems a very well respected film company has signed on to distribute The Last Of Us. Which means the live-action adaptation of the PlayStation 3 game should have pretty good quality. Naughty Dog is one of the few studios out there that continue to turn out quality rather than quantity. They will we working on the project as well. They will be hands on with the project from start to finish.
Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper said:
“I am thrilled that SCEA’s Riley Russell was able to get me in front of Neil and Evan Wells to plead my case. Sam and his team at Ghost House round out the perfect team to help realize Neil’s vision.”
The Creative Director for the game Neil Druckmann will write the script. The other minds working on this project are Evan Wells, Christophe Balestra, Bruce Straley and Sam Raimi. If you never played the game, here is the Cliff Notes version. Hardened survivor Joel teams with young and capable companion Ellie to journey through a radically transformed world some 20 years after an infectious pandemic ravages humanity. The game is one a must have if you have a PS3. If you do not have a PS3 find one somewhere and play it. The game has won a ridiculous amount of well deserved awards. One hopes the movie is half as good.
