That means having computers really understand language and use it on par with humans. Despite press release claims about getting near-human quality, that goal is as far beyond present capabilities as a moon landing is beyond a Roman chariot, Lommel quipped "That said, I suspec...

It's always hard to see the value of an acquisition like this, because we don't have access to the imagination of the parties putting the deal together. Press releases don't often help much, because they're full of platitudes aimed at investors who want to know how a deal will affect their stock in 90 days. It's a terrible way of investing, but it's what we have...

For instance, in an era when businesses use the term "customer experience" in every meeting and every press release, Bob points out how poorly businesses actually are faring in attempting to deliver great CX -- and then he talks about how they could do it better, and what the pitfalls are for staying with a losing game plan...

Your humble reporter started this blog, but he's not being sentimental -- the crew at work on it today elevated it to a new level in 2017...

"For all the knowns we get in a press release from Google or Facebook about their procedures, there's too many unknowns about how their black box software operates to begin with," he noted The fake news problem may be larger than even behemoths like Google and Facebook can tac...

If "quantity has a quality all its own," then this blog meets that standard; its post totals doubled over last year. There are some frustrating things about Inside CRM/Toolbox.com. It's virtually invisible on the InsideCRM homepage, and too many posts have no byline, or have a tinge of salesy-ness to them when they do. Once in a while, a thinly disguised press release weasels its way in. Several posts include interesting statistics but lack attribution (a sticking point for skeptics like me).

"We have seen before when products are incremental, Apple will just put out a press release about them," she told the E-Commerce Times. "It could be we will not see everything, and some will just come out in a press release at a different date." ...

Countless other Apple users have suffered losses like ours. To make matters worse, during the middle of our technology meltdown, Apple had the nerve to issue a press release touting how many users already had upgraded.

"It gives free publicity to T-Mobile, detracts attention from Verizon, and has consumers considering T-Mobile who would not have been," Johnson told the E-Commerce Times. "In essence, T-Mobile has interjected itself into Verizon's campaign and is making it its own. Additionally, with a tongue and-in-cheek press release, they are skillfully using humor."
