- im using cortana on passport, seems to be similar, same card style and alll. i cant voice activate it though. but i just set it to a hotkey.
i dont like them much though, just tried it since microsoft opened the beta to public, i tried it to see the hype
but i hate unified apps like that too if i want weather, i open that one app... i do t want to see emails,news,traffic if all i want to know is if it will rain. likewise, i do t care about it if i want to know the headlines10-16-15 06:54 PMLike 0 -
Posted on my Powerful Passport10-16-15 07:44 PMLike 0 - Then you'll probably find the sort of integration that Google Now has with Nest quite interesting (from an article on Android Central):
'[Through Google Now] Nest can now determine when you're coming home and adjust the temperature accordingly'

- Some of the posts on what Google now does is downright scary. I don't think I'll use it. I mean it's great that Google and the nest thermostat know that you are almost home, so it turns up the heat. But, crap, really? That means Google knows where you are 24/7 and will 'track' um I mean, help you and assist you. Your boss books your flight and sends you an email. Google knows to wake you so you can hit the road at the proper time to get to the airport. When you get there it tells you your gate has changed and to go to the new gate. I can tell some of you like this and even find it beneficial. That's fine. But no way will I ever allow anyone, especially Google know what I'm doing, where I am, and allow it to control my house and life. Talk about big brother and skynet! This is it! Can this be turned off and disabled? Honestly, this sounds like the biggest invasion of privacy I've ever heard of. Maybe it's just me, but I call the shots in my life and where and whom I'm with or where I'm going is MY business, no one else's, especially a company that tries to collect all the data it can on me. I was really looking forward to getting the Priv, now I don't know. Please someone tell me that it can be disabled!

One perspective that does come up is that these companies already do "know." The phone companies, BlackBerry, Google, Microsoft, Apple et al already manipulate and use the data anyway.
As with everything smartphone related, consumers are in the crosshairs.
But yes, it can be disabled.astrodan13 likes this.10-16-15 10:12 PMLike 1 - Tre LawrenceBetween RealitiesWait till you guys and others use Google Now on your Priv: Siri, Google Now Have Security Flaw That Lets Attackers Take Over Your Phone From Five Meters Away : PERSONAL TECH : Tech Times
Yep, like most hacks, hilariously impractical with little ROI, especially with voice trained assistants, no?
Headphones WITH mic + plugged in + not being used + device not being monitored + hacking equipment + proximity?
Cool pool room trick though.LazyEvul likes this.10-16-15 10:24 PMLike 1 - I respect your position. It makes sense, and I think most folks should be aware and cautious.

- Not that excited over Google now, but extremely excited about the ability to use Google maps natively! That's just one app I had the hardest time ditching when I made the move to BB10.10-17-15 09:47 AMLike 0
- Google who im going to replace that with Cortana lol kinda wish BB ditched google now i prefer cortana MS did really good there but google now has its strong points one of which is not recognizing a Trinidadian accent where cortana and Siri does better.10-17-15 10:26 AMLike 0
- i posted above somewhere, but you can install cortana on bb10 through the play store without waiting for priv... it isn't entirely "there", but I don't know if it is because it is beta or because bb10 runtime limitations10-17-15 04:49 PMLike 0

I'm far less apprehensive about 10 or 20 companies each having a small piece of the puzzle of Me but Google is building a pretty complete picture across multiple platforms.
Sure I use some Google services, but I like to mix it up so the picture they are able to acquire has lots of missing bits. As Google acquires more and more Internet companies etc. and GMS are integrated into more and more apps, this gets harder.
You couldn't pay me enough to use Google "fiber" that they're installing. That is really frikking scary.
Posted via CB10raino likes this.10-17-15 05:41 PMLike 1 - Tre LawrenceBetween Realitiesit is different for one company to know 10 things than for 10 companies to each know one thing. That is the fundamental difference between using 'apps' and using 'Google Apps on an Android device with Google Mobile Services'

- These headlines all sound like the health scare ones. YOU could get flesh eating bacteria. YOU could get the brain eating amoeba. Statistically so small. Where are the massive "diseases" that are plaguing everyone so severely that people everywhere are getting "sick" (i.e., identity theft, stolen funds, etc.). You are already tracked by traffic cams, your grocery store membership card, insurance companies, auto companies, etc.

Why do I want to make it even easier for Facebook to track me when I'm not even ON Facebook. Jebus, people using these services mostly have no idea what they're allowing Facebook to do.
