Great Things About Working From Home

I was forever chomping at the bit to become a stay-at-home mom, and I became one at the age of 30. Once at home, I spent my days holding and staring at and nursing my baby. I held him for naps and read books and watched a lot of crappy TV. I needed the downtime from having been going to school from the age of 5 and then working from the age of 16.

After a while I got a little ... unchallenged. Not bored. But just not challenged. I thought up a sticker line for nursing moms. I tried selling scrapbooking stuff. The best was when my old boss called and said my replacement sucked and I needed to come in ... with baby and I could pick my own hours. That was pretty ideal ... until my baby got squiggly and mobile.

After that, I started doing some data entry and writing appeal and thank you letters from home for nonprofits. After my third kid, I was all into article and ebook writing and never looked back. I didnt even get an internet connection at home until April of 2013 and then really took off and was able to make about $2K from home per month writing, editing and doing social media jobs if I really worked it. AND I could go to the pool and hang with my kids.

I never loved working in an office. I hated the drama (sure, I added to it because I was not challenged and was bored) and the being on time and getting up early and dealing with so many personalities in person. Hated the politics because Im bad at that crap. I wish I had started working from home in my 20s but I didnt have the maturity and the internet was barely a thing.

So I want to highly recommend working for yourself. If you want to be a vet or a lawyer or an architect or something that requires a degree and that you work in a structured setting ... yes, do what you have to do. But if you are good at many things (car repair, home repair, proofreading, woodworking, software development, selling Younique cosmetics or Jamberry nail wraps like I do) that can possibly be done from your own home or close by, GO FOR IT!

Today Im going to link to a great BlogHer piece I came across. Its called 20 Things I Love About Working from Home. I love this piece! http://www.blogher.com/my-two-cents-worth-working-home?from=bhspinner

5 Things Apple Needs to Do to Improve Siri five drawbacks of Siri

5 Things Apple Needs to Do to Improve Siri || five drawbacks of Siri

One of the most amazing app which discussed in this article is Siri. iPhone users familiar or even know about this app name because in 2011 Siri, the virtual personal assistant introduced on the iPhone 4S. This awesome app uses speech recognition, artificial intelligence, and tight integration to the phones built-in apps to create a "personal assistant" to perform a multitude of tasks for you. This amazing app make work very easy and even you just speak and your whole work done in seconds. Siri is most interesting app than any other apps introducing till now because of its unique features like if you plan to go in meeting and you want weather update you just asked whats the weather report today this amazing app brings whole result from weather forecast and provide you perfect result but if you do same question with other Voice recognition apps then they only bring result from your calenders weekly updates. So in simple words the best use of Artificial Intelligence in Siri and this is one of good example of Artificial Intelligence as well as Speech Recognition App.

But today in this article we will discussed what Five Things which Apple Needs to Do to Improve Siri because nothing could be perfect so everything need to improve.

1. Alternative Voices

If you asked me about the iPhone 4s app Siri then i have nothing against Siris, but it would be cool to be able and use alternate voices and give iPhone 4S a more unique.  Apple needs to have voices like TomTom does, so just having some alternate voice options would be nice and make it more convenient. Siri would be cool to have other famous AI voices like HAL and GlaDOS.

2. Multilingual

If we see the Siris multilingual skills then we see it has some amazing multi-linguistic skills, but these skills also not enough. As we take example of the United States version of iOS 5 running on many iPhone 4S which lets you choose between English (United Kingdom), French, English (Australia),  English (United States) and German. If take the general view then we come to know the German-speaking or French-speaking citizens in the United States is lower than other populations such as Spanish-speaking so its necessary that siri provide multi-lingustic skills which supports other languages.

3. iPad 2 Support

If you are iPad 2 user then you know that iPad 2 didnt get Siri. Why? No ans. If we compare it with smartphone features then we can say that the iPhone 4 didnt get Siri because the lacks of dual core processing horsepower of the iPhone 4S. But this argument doesnt hold against dual core processing iPad 2.

4. Deeper Integration

Another thing which apple need to improve in Siri is that Siri cant open apps, and it cant take pictures. It will let you dictate a text message, but not a Twitter tweet or a Facebook status update. As everybody know this isnt all Apples responsibility but Apple just needs to have the APIs which allow third-party developers to tap into and integrate with Siri. So in this way the working of Siri is more than anyone can think.

5. Default security

Security is all time hot topic in the world of technology. As Apple has included an option with Siri which lets you access the power and capabilities of the personal assistant without unlocking the phone. The default functionality of Siri while the iPhone 4S is locked and the problem is if you can pick up the phone and send a text message or any other thing so anyone can who picks up your phone so same functionality by using Siri. The bigger problem is that Apple leaves this option on by default as the choice available, but by deafult it should be turned off. 

But in short "Siri is great, but it could be better"
